In contrast, another three lncRNAs (AC016027.1, CASC11, and MIR17HG), two mRNAs (DACH1, and EREG), and three miRNAs (hsa-mir-20a, hsa-mir-144, and hsa-mir-376b) showed high expression correlated with longer OS, implying that these RNAs might be protective factors in CRC. This evidence concerns the gene EREG and colorectal carcinoma.
